The official documents sent from Huazhou to the capital were delivered at the post station, and then forwarded back from the capital It took a few months, and there was no letter sent by Tian Shoulou through the dart bureau or the carriage and horses, Jiang Anyi did not plan to wait for the reply from the court, there were many things to do, and time did not wait for me.

Jiang Anyi decided to inspect the county school, and the century-old plan was people-oriented. The guards who followed him changed a batch, and Park Tianhao, Huang Zhu and others were all returned to the army by Jiang Anyi. At the beginning of the war in Huazhou, the assassin was killed, and the Son of Heaven made a special purpose to ensure Jiang Anyi's safety and asked him to select 300 personal guards in the army, but Jiang Anyi only selected 130 people, these people are all athletes in the army, and there are many meritorious contributions around Jiang Anyi, and there are only 76 people left in more than 100 personal guards over the years, but the lowest rank is also the captain of the Eighth Rank Xuanjie, like Park Tianhao, who followed Jiang Anyong to the Northern Desert to participate in the war, has a higher rank, and Park Tianhao is already a guerrilla general from the fifth grade.

These guards are all in addition to a hundred battles, and after Jiang Anyi's careful training, all of them are extraordinary, Guan Pingzhong smiled from ear to ear, these people are the backbone of the army, and the strength of the Anxi battalion has increased a lot, as for whether these people will let Jiang Anyi's forces affect the Anxi Protectorate, Guan Pingzhong doesn't care, the iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, there are some things that don't need to be taken too seriously.

According to the Marquis of Zheng Lu, there can be 100 personal guards, and Jiang Anyi symbolically selected 30 people from the army, these people are recommended by Jiang Anyong, Park Tianhao and others, and they are brave men who fought bravely in the Gobi to suppress horse thieves. The soldiers of the entire Anxi battalion knew that it was a good thing to be a personal guard by the side of the envoy, not only because of the money, but also because of the rapid growth of martial arts and the rapid promotion of officials, and even some captains of seven or eight grades were tempted.

Before sending back the guards, Jiang Anyi did something to help these guards start a family, and each guard gave them two hundred taels of silver to settle down. The guards are a little difficult to leave, and Jiang Anyi treats them like brothers after getting along for many years, and the friendship between life and death together is very sincere. Jiang Jingluo's personal guards are going to start a family, and the matchmaker of Huiye Mansion is rejoicing, which is a good business. However, most of these guards chose the maids in the Jiang Mansion, and these women were sent by their hometown in Pingshan Town to grow up in the Fuci Nursery School, and some of the guards returned to their hometowns to obey their parents' arrangements.

Ning Hu also became a family, after driving away the Western Regions Alliance, he went home to visit relatives, his parents married a woman from a neighboring village Wang for him, and Jiang Anyi sent someone to send a gift of 200 taels. A month after getting married, Ning Hu returned to Huiye Mansion, just in time for Jiang Anyi to arrange for his personal guards to go to the Anxi camp. Ning Hu told Jiang Anyi that he was tired of military life and just wanted to be a personal guard by Jiang Anyi's side. So Ning Hu became the chief of the guard, Rao Ansi, Bai Yifei, and Wang Hao were the deputies, and the fifty people brought by Mr. Zhang from home plus the thirty people selected from the army formed the Jiangfu personal guard.

With Jiang Anyi's inspection of the county, Rao Ansi, Wang Hao and 40 personal guards, more than 40 horses galloped on the official road, which was particularly eye-catching. The first stop was at Jimin Academy, where Lu Wenwen, the former head of Jimin Academy, had retired and returned to Guozijian to be a doctor of Taixue on the sixth grade.

Without informing Jimin Academy in advance, the group dismounted in front of the mountain gate, and the students who came and went looked at this group of people dressed in surprise with surprised eyes. This year, the imperial examination of Huazhou won 16 people, the world shook, the previous Huazhou imperial examination can get three or five people is lucky, a double in the natural son of heaven to raise the side eye, these 16 people in the middle of the lift, ten people from Jimin Academy, the other six people have also been to Jimin Academy to study.

Jimin Academy became popular all of a sudden, and Zechang Academy, Zhangyi Academy became equally famous, plus Lizhou's Huangyang Academy and Guozijian, the world's scholars have five holy places, and Zechang, Huangyang, and Jimin are all related to Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi's deeds of helping students and revitalizing schools have been mentioned, and they are famous in Shilin and read

The scholar doesn't know who the head of the country is and who the head of the academy is, but when it comes to Jiang Anyi, everyone knows.

After Lu Wenwen left, Fang Shishu hired Ying Guohan, a famous scholar from Huazhou, to succeed him as the chief of the mountain, and the invasion of the Western Regions Coalition Army did not affect Jimin Academy. Ying Guohan, a native of Huazhou, attaches great importance to enhancing the reputation of Jimin Academy, and takes the opportunity of these scholars to return to their hometowns to invite them to the lecture hall of the college to teach, and there is an endless stream of students who come to listen to the lectures. Today coincides with the Dunguan County Jinshi Yang Yu Fei to speak the "Zigong Asks Politics" in the words of the master, and the news was notified five days ago, and people came and went at the mountain gate to listen to the lecture.

Jiang Anyi asked Wang Hao to rest at the bottom of the mountain with forty guards, and he and Rao Ansi strode up the mountain, although the two were dressed up, but the people in the academy were full of people today, in addition to the students in green shirts, there were also some brown-clothed waiters and squires in Chinese clothes, and no one paid much attention to them.

Revisiting the old place, Jiang Anyi walked around, and in a few years, Jimin Academy built several new buildings, one more library building, Chongdao Temple, and more pavilions in the mountains. When he went up the mountain, Jiang Anyi noticed that there were many more names on the stone wall, no wonder Jimin Academy was able to get as many as 16 students.

When Jiang Anyi came to the lecture hall, he found that it was already crowded, not to mention entering the lecture hall, even the corridor outside the lecture hall was full of students, and at this time, the group separated from the crowd and entered the lecture hall, Jiang Anyi noticed that a white-haired old man in the middle was accompanied by a dark cyan official uniform, it is estimated that the old man is the mountain chief Ying Guohan, the dark blue official uniform is worn by an eight-grade official, Yang Yufei is in the second class sixty-two in the middle of this year, and he should be awarded an eight-grade official uniform.

There were a lot of people, Jiang Anyi didn't squeeze in, and when he saw a bluestone outside the lecture hall, he leaned on the side of the bluestone. The lecture began to preach in the lecture hall, the surroundings were quiet, the students held their breath and listened, Jiang Anyi was well-informed, and the words in the lecture hall were clear and ear-catching.

“…… There are three things to govern, sufficient food, foot soldiers, and the trust of the people. The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented......" Yang Yufei's preaching was decent, explaining the importance of the three, and talking about the master's belief that the people's faith is the most important, the second is sufficient food, and the foot soldiers are again, and only by getting the people's livelihood can the world be stable.

“…… To eat, or there is a risk of starvation, but since ancient times there are death, not enough trouble, the people believe in the court, although the food is insufficient, but still can share the suffering, if there is no people's faith, even if there is no external trouble, civil strife is also born, the country is not stable, so the people do not stand without faith. ”

The applause sounded like thunder, and Jiang Anyi also applauded lightly, provoking the eyes of the people next to him, this martial artist pretended to be, even if he could hear the words from such a distance, did he understand what he meant? But when he saw some people applauding, he indiscriminately filled up the number and despised it.

Next is the time for students to ask questions, Jiang Anyi was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone in the lecture hall say in a loud voice: "Master said that the people's faith is the most important, Yasheng has also said: the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, I don't know if Mr. thinks the people are more important than the king?" How to build trust? ”

There was silence inside and outside the lecture hall, Jiang Anyi paused, when he first entered Zechang, Mr. Su presided over the interrogation, and the topic of the interrogation was "Yin has three benevolences, Weizi goes, Jizi is a slave for it, and he dies than a dry admonition." Try to say that the three are superior", I answered at that time that the three are not superior, you can admonish, you can admonish, you can not admonish, you can go, leave a useful body to do practical things for the country and the people, and the final result will determine the superiority. This reply hides the meaning of "the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light", but I didn't expect to hear someone put forward it again in Jimin Academy after more than ten years, but I want to hear how Yang Yufei answered.

The lecture hall was quiet for a moment, and Yang Yufei's voice sounded: "Shangshu" cloud: The people are only Bangben, and Bengu Bangning. The king is commanded by heaven, and the king should obey the will of the people and rule the country with benevolence; Hundreds of officials are appointed by the king, on behalf of the herdsmen of heaven, and should love the people

Such as a child; The people should obey the law and serve the country. It is necessary to know that the heavens and the heavens all come from the people, and the king, the officials, and the people do their duty, and the heavens are happy to see it, then the world is stable, and the people are self-reliant. ”

Jiang Anyi frowned lightly, Yang Yufei's words avoided the question of who is light and who is heavy, of course, since Yasheng said that the people are important, successive kings have been downplaying the meaning of this sentence, Jiang Anyi remembered that the people of Yuanhua Jiang were coerced by thieves to make trouble, it is precisely because the people who have no food will make trouble, how can the people who have no food trust the court? couldn't help but say loudly: "The sage Zeng Yun: Cangliao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, and the ruler should let the people have enough food and clothing, read and understand etiquette, and then the people will stand up." ”

Everyone looked sideways and looked at Jiang Anyi, and Ying Guohan's vigorous voice sounded in the lecture hall, "I don't know which gentleman is coming, Ying is not welcome, you might as well come to the lecture hall to talk about it." ”

Jiang Anyi walked through the crowd and walked into the lecture hall, and someone recognized him and shouted: "It's Lord Jiang, Master Jiang is here." Immediately cheers rang out, and everyone stepped forward to salute. Jiang Anyi's reputation in Shilin is skyrocketing, and he is regarded as the salary bearer of the old master of Fan Yanzhong, and there is a hidden meaning that he can come to Jimin Academy, which is a grand event in Shilin.

Ying Guohan, Yang Yufei and everyone from Jimin Academy took it out, and Ying Guohan said excitedly: "Master Jiang came to Jimin Academy, and the teachers and students of the academy are very encouraged. ”

After seeing the ceremony, Ying Guohan said: "The adults said outside that the people have enough food and clothing, read and know etiquette, and the people's faith is established." The adults have been in Huazhou for six years, the government is harmonious, all industries are prosperous, and the people are convinced, please tell everyone how to govern and how to convince the people? ”

"The master said that there are three kinds of government, sufficient food, foot soldiers, and people's faith, and the people's faith is the most important, but without enough food and foot soldiers, it is difficult for the people's faith to stand." When the people in the academy heard that Jiang Anyi was coming, they gathered one after another, and the lecture hall was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

"Jiang's ruling takes adequate food as the primary task, attaches equal importance to agriculture and industry, and has the trust of the Son of Heaven and the strength of everyone, so that the people of Huazhou have no worries about food and clothing. Huazhou a hundred battles, the Western Regions coalition army repeatedly invaded, the court moved the Anxi capital to Huazhou, Fengle 17 years of the Western Regions invasion, Jiang led 3,000 light cavalry to help the tun army retreat, this is the effect of the foot soldiers, first there is enough food, then there are foot soldiers, and then the people believe in it. Last year, the Western Regions coalition invaded, half of Huazhou fell, and the people were displaced, and then the court army drove the people of the Western Regions away, and the people returned one after another, and all industries were revived. ”

Therefore, the master said that the people's faith is the most important, and only by first letting the people have enough food and soldiers can the people's faith be established; Once the rulers can win the trust of the people, they can go to the army first and then eat when they encounter unavoidable circumstances, and the people will not deviate from morality. Those in power should take the trust of the people as the priority, and then the food and armaments can be completed with one heart. ”

The stormy applause echoed in the lecture hall for a long time, Jiang Anyi remembered the purpose of this trip, and added with a smile: "All the gentlemen are scholars, you should know how to be virtuous, and then go to study literature." The text carries the Tao, the text uses the clear way, opens the wisdom of the people, so that the people of Huazhou can know the etiquette, know the honor and disgrace, and the establishment of the people's trust still needs to rely on the monarchs. ”

Jiang Anyi's speech at Jimin Academy soon spread throughout Huazhou, and the controversy over the importance of the monarch over the people and the people's trust first spread from Huazhou, and everyone in the 27 prefectures of Zhengzhou had to say a few words. Jiang Anyi did not expect that his remarks in Jimin Academy would spread so widely and cause such a big controversy, he inspected the county school all the way, appeased the people, and everywhere he went, he vigorously advocated reading and making progress, setting off an upsurge of reading and studying in Huazhou.
